FORD TRANSIT2011 · 2.2L DIESEL

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently poor , as evidenced by the recurring failure of the rear brake discs and the corrosion of the integral body structures in both the 2023 and 2022 tests. This indicates a worsening maintenance trend rather than a stable one, suggesting the owner has likely neglected routine inspections and consumable replacements. The 2023 test at 131,631 miles confirms that the brakes have become significantly more problematic since the 2022 inspection, where they were only worn to a non-excessive level. The structural integrity of the body panels and the alignment of the front and rear windscreen wipers have deteriorated, indicating that the vehicle has been exposed to constant road conditions without adequate preventative maintenance. The mileage trajectory reflects a rapid accumulation of wear, particularly concerning the drivetrain and suspension, which is consistent with the vehicle's age of approximately 15 years. The 2021 test at 106,483 miles was the only time the MOT was passed, highlighting a significant gap in the history where the vehicle was not serviced. The 2023 and 2022 tests were conducted at 131,631 and 118,781 miles respectively, respectively, while the 2021 test was only 106,483 miles, suggesting that the vehicle has been driven for over 10 years with no recorded maintenance between the 2021 and 2022 inspections. This lack of service history, combined with the specific failure modes of the brakes and body, points to a reliance on older, less durable components that are prone to failure under normal driving conditions. Given the structural corrosion of the integral body and the worsening brake condition , a buyer must inspect the car for hidden structural risks and mechanical wear. The 2022 test flagged a less than 1.5 mm rear brake pad, which is insufficient for high-performance braking, and the 2023 test confirmed that the brake discs have become excessively worn. The corrosion of the body structure and the cut in the rear tyres indicate that the vehicle has likely been driven on rough roads or in areas with poor drainage, leading to accelerated failure of critical components. A buyer should verify the oil leak and exhaust emissions from the 2021 test, as the engine oil leaking excessively from the engine block suggests potential internal damage or a failed combustion system that requires immediate attention.
